Singer STEVIE NICKS is refusing to reunite with her former FLEETWOOD MAC bandmates, unless fellow vocalist CHRISTINE McVIE also returns.
The American star last recorded with her former bandmates on 2003’s Say You Will album, but has since resisted offers to go on the road with them again, unless McVie - who quit the group in 1998 - is on board with the reunion.
She says, "I don’t like it as the boys’ club. We could make millions and millions of dollars touring again. But I just don’t know if I want to go again without Chris."

Oscar winner DAME HELEN MIRREN lived in a hippy drug den during her twenties, while working for the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company.
The elegant British actress admits wild cross-dressing parties took place fuelled with alcohol and drugs including LSD and marijuana.
Mirren says, "The boys loved dressing in drag, and the girls as nuns and tarts. There were also drugs of course, marijuana mostly. A picture from those days reveals my one and only acid trip, a walk in the country, I am laughing already.
"It was like a cross between a country retreat for toffs, an artists’ convention and a travellers’ camp."

She says, "Me appearing in the West End has really got to my dad.

Actor BRUCE CAMPBELL has turned down the chance to star as ELVIS PRESLEY once again in the sequel to BUBBA HO-TEP, insisting the character is "dead to him".
Campbell has been offered the lead role in the comedy Bubba Nosferatu and the Curse of the She-Vampires, but rejected the opportunity because he and director Don Coscarelli have failed to solve their creative differences.
He tells Fangoria magazine, "Don Coscarelli is a very passionate filmmaker.
We got to a few points that we couldn’t reconcile. I want to keep our friendship, so we parted ways. So I’m not part of that project."

Acclaimed documentary-maker MICHAEL MOORE is more successful in Canada than the U.S. - because Americans don’t get his humour.
Moore praised Canada’s collective sense of humour during an appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he was promoting his latest project Captain Mike Across America. He said, "Canadians, you’re wired in a different way than we are humour-wise.
You understand and appreciate irony and satire… Americans, we take things maybe a little bit too literally and don’t always get it."

Tycoon DONALD TRUMP has attacked ROSIE O’DONNELL in his new book THINK BIG AND KICK ASS - calling the U.S. TV personality a "loser".
The pair have been feuding since Trump’s appearance on O’Donnell’s former show The View earlier this year (07), which turned nasty.
They have bickered in the media ever since - and the billionaire has turned to his literary effort, in a bid to have the last word.
He tells the New York Post’s gossip column PageSix, "I devote some time to Rosie in my book, as you know, she said I went bankrupt and ABC apologised.
Rosie lies.
"I got angry because I never went bankrupt. I’m worth $8 billion today. She never said that. She writes false stuff… Rosie is a loser, a very sad case unattractive both inside and out. I’ll make a little wager my book sells a lot more than hers." But Trump isn’t the only one committing his thoughts on the feud to print. In her new book Celebrity Detox, O’Donnell calls Trump "a torn scarecrow" and "a slug".

A singer from British dance vocalist duo BOOTY LUV narrowly avoided severe burning after her hair extensions caught fire moments before a recent performance in Scotland.
Cherise Roberts was only saved when bandmate Nadia Shepherd soaked the flaming extensions with water.
Roberts was readying herself to perform in Glasgow when the terrifying incident took place.
A witness tells British paper The Sun: "Everyone including Cherise, could smell a funny burning smell but no one noticed it was Cherise’s extensions until she had flames coming out of her head.
"Everyone turned to see Cherise with her hair fully on fire. Nadia grabbed a bottle of water and soaked Cherise’s hair, avoiding what could have been nasty injuries."

STATUS QUO rocker FRANCIS ROSSI is hoping his first ever film role falls through, because he fears he’ll be too nervous to act.
The singer and bandmember Rick Parfitt have landed leading roles in Care Factor Zero, a comedy film following the rock veterans’ getaway from an organised crime gang.
But Rossi’s enthusiasm for the big screen venture is waning.
He says, "It’s happening next January unless it falls through - which will be great for me, because I’m cacking myself and I don’t want to do it.
"By the time we do it, I’ll be OK. If it was another band, I’d be thinking, ‘What a bunch of twats for doing that’, but I’m 58, and no one is going to ask me in 10 years if I want to do a movie. But it’s likely to be as hammy (not good) as hell, and I’ll probably want to disown it as soon as it’s done."

BLUR are reuniting with guitarist GRAHAM COXON next month (Oct07), five years after the guitarist left the band.
Coxon parted on bad terms with the group in 2002, while Blur were recording the album Think Tank.
Other bandmembers have since occupied themselves with solo projects, including frontman Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz - but a reunion with Coxon has been rumoured.
Now bass player Alex James has confirmed he, Albarn, Coxon and drummer Dave Rowntree are planning to record a new album in October.
He says, "It’s going to happen soon. It’s looking promising. It’s important for us emotionally not to leave Blur as an unfinished thing. It could be good musically as well.
"I texted Graham this morning and got one back. I saw Damon (Albarn) about a month ago and I spoke to Dave yesterday. We’re all talking." He adds of his plans for the new album, "Good guitars would be good. But I mainly talk to Graham about mandolins and prog music."

FLEETWOOD MAC star STEVIE NICKS enjoyed a secret three-year affair with THE EAGLES star JOE WALSH and describes the guitarist as her "great, great love".
The rock chick was known to have been romantically involved with bandmates Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham and Eagles star Don Henley - but Nicks only revealed her fling with Walsh during an interview with a British newspaper.
She tells the Telegraph, "My great, great love was Joe Walsh. 1983 to 1986. I fell in love with Joe at first sight from across the room, in the bar at the Mansions Hotel in Dallas. I looked at him and I walked across the room and I sat on teh bar stool next to him, and two seconds later I crawled into his lap, and that was it.
"We were probably the perfect, complete, crazy pair. He was the one that I would have married, and that I would probably have changed my life around for." Their romance ended because of their drug addictions and Nicks adds, "We were a couple on the way to hell." "(Walsh disappeared to Australia) to get away from me. He thought - or so I’m told by my friends - that one of us was going to die, and the other person would not be able to save them. And I did think I was going to die. It took me a long time to get over it - if I ever got over it. There was no other man in the world for me. And it’s the same today, even though Joe is married and has two sons."

Legendary rocker STEVIE NICKS spent more than $1 million (£500,000) on cocaine during her hellraising heyday.
The Fleetwood Mac star consumed huge amounts of the drug during the 1970s and 80s and even thanked her dealer on the band’s album credits.
She only kicked the habit during a stay at the Betty Ford Clinic, after a doctor warned her she would lose her nose if she continued to snort the drug.
Nicks says, "At $100 a pop - that’s a gram - and we were the ones who were buying it for everybody else; not only us, but all our friends. I would say millions."

Actor DANIEL RADCLIFFE has denied claims his mother is involved in his feud with British pop stars McFLY, insisting the reports are completely false.
Radcliffe was said to have ignited the feud when he admitted he was not a fan of the group’s music.
McFly hit back at the comments, saying, "He’s got a lot to learn about music, hasn’t he? He’s about 11." The Harry Potter star was reported to have been so upset, he enlisted the help of his mum, who warned the singers to stay away from the actor.
But Radcliffe has slammed the story of his mother’s involvement and dismissed British tabloid the Daily Mail newspaper for printing it.
He says, "Pah. That bastion of truth."
